OK Thanks!
You're welcome.
An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that provides additional information about another noun in a sentence. It is set off by commas and usually placed next to the noun it modifies. To understand what an appositive phrase is, let's break down the steps to identify it:
1. Identify the noun being modified: Look for a noun in the sentence.
2. Look for additional information: Check if there is a phrase next to the noun that adds extra details or renames the noun.
3. Check for commas: An appositive phrase is usually set off by commas on both sides.
For example, in the sentence "My dog, a fluffy Siberian Husky, is playful," the appositive phrase is "a fluffy Siberian Husky." It adds more information about the noun "dog" and is set off by commas.
Remember, an appositive phrase always provides non-essential information and can be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning.
